Thai Carved and Painted Wooden Monk Statue with Dispelling of Fear Gesture

About the Item

A vintage Thai carved wooden monk statue with red, black and gilt finish, inlaid mica and Abhaya Mudra (fear dispelling) gesture. Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of this vintage Thai carved wooden monk statue, a remarkable piece from Thailand. This sculpture captures the essence of tranquility and spiritual grace with its depiction of a standing monk, adorned in a richly hued red robe with black hair, embodying a moment of peaceful contemplation. The monk's hands are raised in the Abhaya Mudra, a symbolic gesture of fearlessness and protection, inviting a sense of calm and security into any space. The monk's robe is a masterpiece in itself, with delicate folds that suggest movement and depth, beautifully highlighted by a gilt finish. Mica inlays, fashioned into petite rosettes, add an element of intricate detail and shimmering light to the piece. The statue is elegantly poised on a circular tapering base, enhancing its statuesque presence. This Thai monk sculpture, with its Abhaya Mudra gesture, serves not only as a stunning decorative element but also as a reminder of inner peace and protection. It would be a profound addition to a meditation room, living space, or any area in the home where a touch of serenity is desired. Its cultural significance and artistic beauty make it a captivating focal point, enriching your home with a piece of Thai heritage and the timeless message of courage and peace it represents.
